  1. CCI carotid characteristic impedance, CIs confidence interval, CIR characteristic impedance ratio, OR odds ratio, SD standard deviation, Zc aortic characteristic impedance
  2. Odds ratios (per SD increase, with corresponding 95% CIs), numbers in bold letters indicate statistical significance
  3. Adjusted for age, gender, education levels, MAP, carotid diameter, height, weight, HR, hypertension, DM, LDL, smoking status
  4. atransformed by using the natural logarithm
